Fundamentals Lab
The Fundamentals Lab facilitates introductory and intermediate studies in electricity, circuit theory and design.
You'll engage with diverse equipment and instruments to investigate static electricity and electromagnetic phenomena, delving into concepts like Coulomb's law, Gauss's law and Faraday's law. Additionally, a wide range of components and tools help you explore topics such as nodal and mesh analysis, Thevenin and Norton theorems, sinusoidal steady state analysis, semiconductor device operation, and more.
